Unsung : The Sylvers!

[marv2]

Marv, I agree with you regarding Pat sounding like CeCe. There was something familiar about her voice and couldn't put a finger on it. I enjoyed their Unsung immensely but must confess that I never listened to their music. The 80s music for the most part is a blur to me as I was busy chasing after young children at that time.

Nosey, I watched the episode twice [[ it really is one of the very best ones so far) and kept thinking "Pat sure does remind me someone else......" then it clicked, CeeCee! Same facial features[[ to me) and the voices are so very similar. I listened to the Sylvers growing up mostly on the radio. By the time they had the hits "Boogie Fever", "Hot Line" and "High School Dance" they were established with me as a part of the soundtrack of that era of my life.

Went to a friend's bday celebration the other day and there were 7 of us. Three of us in our 40's and the other 4 in their 30's. We were talking about UNSUNG and I brought up The Sylvers. I could not believe that only one other person at the table had heard of them, I'm still apalled especially at the other 40 something year old. She said that she thought "Boogie Fever" & "Hot Line" were the Jacksons. They were always on tv growing up and stayed on the cover of RIGHT ON!!! By the way, one of my favs by them is "Don't Stop, Get Off". Was such a funky bass line.
